Linear earthwork banks aligned approximately north-west to south-east and circa 4 metres in width are visible on aerial photographs taken in 1947. They cover just over a hectare in two fields depicted as orchard on the Tithe Map. The earthworks are interpreted as banks for fruit tree planting, and are likely to be post-medieval or modern in date. There is no visible trace of earthworks on the later available aerial photographs and they are likely to have been levelled.
